absolutely buggy stupid bs. Once you accept these quests you're instantly stuck in combat. Can't stealth,can't eat and can't choose your specialization. Really annoying, had to die just to finish this bs.

Description
The Alliance have caught back up with us at just the wrong moment, my friend. We took care of their ships, but they still have planes that are dropping their vaunted 127th Paratroopers onto the coast below. It's all that the battlesworn and scouts can do to hold the two ramps against their overwhelming numbers. I'm certain that if you were to aid them, the tide would quickly be turned.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Thrall knows better than to dirty his hands with fighting, he only ever gave US the means to kill Alliance.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Volcanoth!
It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, but the Bootzooka, patent-pending, is ready for use! These no-good pygmies have been feeding our people to their "god", Volcanoth, and they're about to unleash it on our town! You have to get into the cave and kill that thing before it's too late!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mine Disposal, the Goblin Way
The paratroopers have mined the beach! The Warchief asked me if there's anything we can do about that. I told him, 'You bet we can!'. I was thinking maybe you could take this satchel of grenades and detonate the land mines from a safe distance? It's how we do things, right?!
